Opening Http Links from Evolution Calendar

Bug Description

Binary package hint: evolution

I use Evolution 2.26.1 with the exchange plugin to connect to my emails, contacts and calendar via OWA. This is on ubuntu jaunty 9.04.
The specific problem I am facing is that I can't directly click and open http links from the calendar invites I have (mostly webex links). I can open links directly from emails, however the same functionality is not available in calendar events. This requires I copy the link and manually paste it in firefox.

I am new to evolution and am sorry if this is a simple checkbox somewhere which i have missed.

Thanks in advance for any pointers.

Edit- if i forward the invite email the links show up properly in the forwarded email.
